Hi Nathaniel,

A great post, thanks!

It seems most studio shots known shows Naga spears in the hands of Shan warriors. An avenue I have not explored but would like to know more about the trade or raid of the regions and tribes.

Perhaps you can post your wonderful old spears too :-)

Dear Nathaniel,

I have taken pictures of all of the cabinets in the Oriental gallery, and have been systematically publishing them on my blog. I haven't had chance to show the ones you mention on my site, so here they are. Email me for bigger images if you need them.

Regards,
Runjeet

Wow, Wow, Wow! Thank you very very much Runjeet Singh for sharing these photos! Magnificent!

I even see a weapon I have never seen before!!!!! The one with the long handle and short blade and square tip...it appears by the image discription below to be listed as the Sithaba(hu?) Sword. When I look up Sithabahu all I can find is a reference to Sri Lanka: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinhabahu
